Two nice responses to my book via email. Both come from people with the name Philip, which must have some sort of profound significance. Looking it up, Philip means “Horse lover,” but I knew that – ergo Horselover Fat = Philip K. Dick.
Incidentally I also received an email this week from Anne Dick, PK Dick’s [...]
A couple of smart people on the economy, or the cliff we’re on the edge of:
Simon Johnson on the Doom Cycle (MMBM) from Roosevelt Institute on Vimeo.
About Simon Johnson: Prof. Johnson is the Ronald A. Kurtz (1954) Professor of Entrepreneurship at MIT Sloan School of Management. He is also a senior fellow at the Peterson [...]
The world is insane. One of the horrible things unleashed by random killers like John Patrick Bedell, Joe Stack, or Amy Bishop is that it defines insanity in terms of “killing people.” Of course these people have all had a psychotic breakdown, but collectively the culture is having a psychotic break , which does not [...]
Another week, another lashing out at the government. Though Bedell is dumbly reported as a right-wing teabagger, citing his manifesto, the manifesto was actually published in 2006, during the Bush presidency. Basically, he’s a Zeitgeister:
This seizure of the United States government by an international criminal conspiracy is a long-established [...]
Yesterday had a couple of conversations with my brother and dad about Obama and the state of things. I’m the dementor of the family with my enduring belief – or at least interest – in UFOs, conspiracy theory, and the like. They’re left-leaning Democrats, but not the kind of radical I can be in certain [...]
On the heels of bickering about money between two consciousness researchers, I recently came across a lawsuit being filed against David Jacobs regarding his alien abduction research. I was disappointed that Daniel Pinchbeck cites David Jacobs as a credible authority on alien abductions because I always thought his research was so slanted. Anyone who calls [...]
Jim O’Rourke is turning into Frank Zappa. Less of a snarker, but the same kind of ambition. This whole thing is amazing:
More science:
God, how I love Scribd.
Operation Mind Control
Jim Keith – Mind Control, World Control
I’ve read #2, haven’t read #1. Jim Keith takes way too many leaps, but the leaps are entertaining.
A fairly stupid lead-in by Alex Jones for what’s an interesting speech by Aldous Huxley about Brave New World and 1984. Obviously, Huxley thought the scenario in Brave New World was possible or he wouldn’t have written it. Doesn’t mean he was writing a literal blueprint for the future.
Huxley, after all, was a drug advocate [...]
This movie isn’t great, though maybe it’s fairly eye-opening to someone who knows nothing about the subject. They may be surprised to see that the UFO issue isn’t just believed by deranged rednecks, but smart, sober people. I like the occasional use of schmaltzy Hollywood sentimental music – because that might be able to get [...]
